About Us

ticktock started in 2002 with ticktock Media Ltd, and is one of the few independent, leading publishers of non-fiction children’s books in the UK. At ticktock we love to make good books, and create all of our books in-house. The ticktock team of editors and designers work with teachers, parents, children’s authors, expert consultants, photographers and illustrators, to develop ideas and create the highest quality non-fiction children’s books. We pride ourselves on producing books that not only tell the reader about the world we live in, but show them.

In 2007 ticktock Media has launched a new imprint; little ticktock. This is an exciting range for Early Years to encourage children with imaginative, enjoyable and challenging experiences, that introduce early concepts and provide stimulating educational fun.

In 2005 we started ticktock Direct Ltd, to supply books direct to schools in the UK. It sells both books published by ticktock Media and selected titles from other top UK and US publishers.

At ticktock we are committed to providing a friendly and excellent personal service to schools. In 2007 we worked with The Travelling Book Company to select the books in this year’s catalogue. As such, we are now offering a fantastic range of over 2000 non-fiction and fiction titles for ages ranging from Early Years to Young Adult.
